J is for… JOYOUS

J is for….Julia set – named after French mathematician Gaston Julia, is one of two complementary sets defined from a function in the context of complex dynamics, a topic of mathematics. A relatively small difference in values can create chaotic changes in the nearby functions in the sequence of iterated function systems. Whereas with the complementary Fatou set (named for Pierre Fatou, another French mathematician) changes in function values create similar and less variable results to the nearby function values, thus creating regular, orderly results from iterated function systems. (I really have no idea what that means, literally, but I interpret it to be the mathematical behaviour of the “regular” Fatou set and the “chaotic” Julia set.) In other words, the Julia set is a specific type of fractals, with certain mathematical properties. I dasten’t go any further, because I would get into complex numbers, real and imaginary and pretty much out of my understanding. Here is a link that may describe it better for you, if you have the math background.

the fractal for J is:JOYOUS

JOYOUS

Joyous is in my book, Fractal Dreams, which is available exclusively at RedmundPro.

Thanks for the info ( although it takes a couple of reading for non-math me to get a toehold on what it’s saying…fractals are so cool)
This one really jiggles and moves…there all these little faces in there…and at least on frog looking at you.

Oh no… are you on WP? I haven’t turned anything off, that I’m aware of, so maybe you could try to follow again? I’m happy to have you, for sure!!!
And glad you like my art, too!!
Off now to follow you and catch up on your #atozchallenge…:)
